Ryan Garcia was reportedly arrested by Beverly Hills police for felony vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Beverly Hills on Saturday. The story was broken by TMZincluding video of the boxer apparently being led away by police. TMZ Garcia’s attorney was quoted as saying that the fighter known as King Ry “was taken by BHPD to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment and, to our knowledge, may be charged with public intoxication.” According to TMZ, law enforcement stated that “the boxer was arrested and detained after he allegedly damaged property at the hotel, including rooms and hallways.”
The arrest came just days after police conducted a health check on Garcia at the same hotel. In fact, many people have found Garcia’s behavior alarming for some time. His public comments have randomly swung from loyal to foul (quite contradictory). Furthermore, he claimed that he had been drinking before his win over Devin Haney in April, then tested positive for banned substances in his system (Garcia has claimed that he never hours of voluntary use of this substance). With that being said, Intramural boxing will help readers follow the ongoing story as it develops.
